Hi All,
Peculiar issue. The audio on my g7 Pavillion suddenly disappeared. I plugged in a mic while being on skype, suddenly all sound cuts out. The speaker symbol at the bottom right now has a little white on red cross to it, and when clicking it it just gives me the trouble shooter which cannot find anything.
There is no sound anymore whatsoever. When making a call in skype skype refuses because "Problem with playback device".
When hovering over the speaker icon at the bottom right (the one which now has a white cross on red background) it says "no speakers or headphones are plugged in". The computer however has internal speakers and the message also appears when headphones are plugged in.
Have tried boot-update, boot-reset (to default), driver reinstall for one of the external audio devices (AMD), re-started several times, read through posts of other people affected with audio problems, though have not found anyone who had sound completely destroyed.
Needless to say, nothing helped.
Does anybody know what has to be done to get this fixed?
Cheers,
D
